Her early pieces often feature meditations on death and loss, in the Romantic tradition.[4] She published her first two poems ("Death's Chill Between", "Heart's Chill Between") in the Athenaeum in 1848, when she was 18.[10][11] Under the pseudonym "Ellen Alleyne" she contributed to the literary magazine, The Germ, published by the Pre-Raphaelites from January to April 1850 and edited by her brother William.[1] This marked the beginning of her public career.[12] For Rossetti, the artist's idealised vision of the model's character begins to overwhelm his work, until "every canvas means/the one same meaning."[13] Dinah Roe, in her introduction to the Penguin Classics collection of Pre-Raphaelite poetry, argues that this critique of her brother and similar male artists is not so much about "the objectification of women" as about "the male artist's self-worship".[14] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3702.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3702.txt
